Actor Hwang Jung-min is set to return to the musical stage following allegations regarding his personal life.

According to production company Sam Company on the 29th, the musical 'Mrs. Doubtfire' will open its third season with a star-studded cast including Hwang Jung-min, Jeong Seong-hwa, and Jeong Sang-hoon.

'Mrs. Doubtfire,' which recorded a cumulative audience of 180,000 and an audience rating of 9.8 across two seasons following its premiere in 2022 and revival in 2025, will once again feature Hwang Jung-min, Jeong Seong-hwa, and Jeong Sang-hoon, who drove the success of the revival, reuniting in the role of Daniel Doubtfire.

Hwang Jung-min, who returned to the musical stage after a 10-year hiatus for the 2025 revival, will take on the role of Doubtfire again for this third production. Having completed his own version of Doubtfire by seamlessly transitioning from sincere emotional acting to witty comedy, attention is focused on the stage he will present in this season.

Notably, this casting announcement draws attention as it comes approximately two months after allegations surrounding Hwang Jung-min's personal life first emerged. Hwang Jung-min is engaged in a legal dispute with a woman in her 40s, referred to as Ms. A, over matters of his private life.

Previously, on July 29, Ms. A claimed via social media that she had been in a private relationship with Hwang Jung-min, releasing text messages and call recordings allegedly exchanged between the two.

In response, Hwang Jung-min's agency, Sam Company, denied the related allegations. The agency described Ms. A as a suspect in stalking crimes who had continuously harassed Hwang Jung-min and stated that they had filed criminal charges. They also reported that the court had issued provisional measures such as a restraining order, and that a summary order imposing a fine of 3 million won was issued regarding stalking charges. Ms. A disputed this and continued legal proceedings.

Since then, Hwang Jung-min has continued his scheduled activities, including stage greetings for the film 'Hope' and filming for upcoming projects, and will now resume stage activities with his participation in the third production of 'Mrs. Doubtfire.'

'Mrs. Doubtfire' is based on the Hollywood film of the same name and tells the story of Daniel, a father who is separated from his children after a divorce, as he disguises himself as a nanny named Doubtfire to get closer to his family again.

The performance will run from December 3 to February 21, 2027, at GS Art Center. First-round ticket pre-sales will be conducted on NOL Ticket and Ticketlink at 2 p.m. on October 6.
